Happy weekend everyone!

Well done year 5 for completing another week of hard work! Your efforts are shining through and were extremely proud of your learning!

As this week has been Science week, we would like you to complete a fantastic poster based on this years theme of 'Change and adapt'. Please scroll down to see more information and useful links below!

We would also like you to keep using TTRS to polish up your times tables knowledge. Practising little and often allows you to really embed your times tables knowledge, which will make you more confident when using your times tables in maths - and of course more confident for our maths challenge. Practising for 10-15 minutes a day would be our suggested time - beginning with Garage before moving onto a different TTRS game.

Please read daily and record your reading in your reading journal. A minimum of 20 minutes daily would be our recommendation. Discussing the book with your family: likes, dislikes, any patterns and connections between this book and another text and any questions you have as a reader. If there are any words that are unfamiliar to you, please discuss them with your adults - or magpie them in a notebook for us to discuss in school.   

Attached below, you will find some resources to support your child's learning at home. They detail our KIRFs and elements of our curriculum that you may wish to look at with your child as discussed at the start of the year and at parents evening.

Science week poster project!

As part of British Science week, we are asking you to take part in an exciting poster competition with the theme of ‘change and adapt.’

For your homework, this week we would like you to create a poster demonstrating your understanding of the theme ‘Change and adapt.’

You could:

• Show how plants and animals adapt to changing seasons or surroundings.
• How humans have adapted to changing technology.
• Look at climate change and how we can adapt our behaviours to protect the environment.
• Favourite science experiment and how it shows change.

There are endless possibilities, these are just some of the examples of things that might show how things change and adapt.

The more creative the interpretation of the theme, the better!

Posters need to be completed and handed to your class teacher and passed on to Mrs Stevens (Science Lead) by Tuesday 25^th March 2025.

Winning posters from each year group will be entered into the British Science Week competition and displayed on the school’s website.

Posters will be judged on:

• Creativity in approach- do not be afraid to think outside the box.
• Content- clear, accurate and informative
• Effective communication- presented and communicated in an engaging way.

Please ensure that you clearly write your name and year group on the back of your poster.

Good luck!
